Wine. South Africa. Yourself. Monopoly.

And when you want someone to know true happiness—and a lot of good wine—you take them to Leeu
Estates.

About that last one: it’s a new South African hotel with 17 rooms, suites and cottages on a working
vineyard that’s sandwiched between a mountainside and a river, booking now just outside of
Franschhoek.

First things first: this place is the home of Mullineux & Leeu Family Wines. So it makes sense that
there’d be an on-site Wine Studio where you can have tastings, host a catered party or simply meet with
the winemakers to pick their beautiful brains. Speaking of: time for this eye-pleasing
slideshow.

And as for the rest of it, you can stay in the 19th-century Manor House or any of the other outfits spread
across the property. You’ll also find a spa with his-and-hers saunas, a heated infinity swimming pool and
the Reading Room. Go there when you need a wood-burning fireplace, cocktails, a book on Nelson Mandela and
games like Scrabble and Monopoly.
